Regardless of whether the founding fathers calimes to be Christians or were deists, there is no denying that his nation was founded and achieved its singular position in history based on Judea o-Christian principles, and our decline is directly linked to our moving away from our dropping of "their superstitions" and embracing "knowledge and education instead of bigotry and intolerance", as you put it.

If you're able to tell me where in the Bible or in the New Testament they speak about freedom of speech, voting system or separation church-state, I will believe you. And of course, you'll have a hard time explaining the Middle Ages.
And since most of the founding fathers broke just about every commandment says otherwise.
1:stealing (ask the natives)
2:adultery (ask Thomas Jefferson)or would they be considered concubines?
3:idolatry (Every national symbol)
4:coveting neighbors possesions (again, ask the natives)
5:murder (Burr and natives again)
6:putting other gods before me (Freedom of religion)
Shall I continue? Fail.
I'm surprised anyone can understand what the hell he's saying. I can't make any sense of this bizzare word salad.

WTF?
Jefferson et al created a civil structure that did not allow priests or demagogues any public authority. There has never been a state religion. Most of the European settlers were Christians of one sort or another, so a general Christian ambience was present.
The moral/ethical model derived from both deism and secular humanism, and stressed freedom of the spirit for every citizen. This is one of the basic CIVIL RIGHTS that are guaranteed to us all.
I, for one, will never let any religious fanatic deny me my civil rights.
This "decline" you speak of...religious batshittery contributes significantly to the decline of the mean American IQ. And the self-styled demagogues like Robertson insist they have supernal authority.
That is a disaster waiting to happen.
Dear fundies, you can claim all the contradictory shit that you would like. I am sick of your lying asses trying to paint a pile of dogshit government by Judeo-Christian lovefest as having ever existed in the country or being a great period of our past. Our current Presidunce has the most openly "fundie loving" administration in history. He is also the biggest disaster of a crooked liar, promoter of unnecessary warfare, killing American soldiers and Iraqis for the profits of his rich contributors, producer of giveaway programs for the rich while killing the middle class, and leaving our children with a crippling national debt forever. PS I've been around since IKE!
Look, you were founded upon the bodies of the natives, just like in every other country in this continent. You were never more moral or holy than the rest of the fucking world, and in most places you're actually considered retrograde. The only superiority you may claim is in a monetary sense, and you don't even use it properly! I'm certainly all for you lot to finally grow some brains!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
